Vaudrey Miller – 78,7 ft (24 m) – 2005

WHIMSY – 24M SLOOP COMBINING PERFORMANCE AND ELEGANCE

Whimsy is a 24-meter sloop designed by the talented Philippe Briand, where elegant naval lines meet the warm and contemporary interior style crafted by Franck Darnet. She embodies the owner's vision: to merge the aesthetics of a racing yacht with the refined luxury of a cruising vessel.

Built in 2005 by Vaudrey Miller using advanced composite construction, Whimsy has been maintained and equipped to the highest standards. Since her launch, she has had only one owner and has been used exclusively for private cruising.

THE SPIRIT OF WHIMSY

The intention behind her design was crystal clear: to create a yacht suited for fast, safe, and comfortable offshore sailing. With her sleek lines, impeccable seakeeping abilities, and luminous interior, Whimsy is as refined as she is high-performing.
